The old decree...

[Hyuga Kisada]

Hyuga Kisada sat patiently in the waiting room outside of the Hokage's office. Understanding the Hokage was a very busy man, kisada had been looking forward to this meeting for the last week. The receptionist was very kind as always and had reminded Kisada that though he may have arrived early he would still need to wait before being able to see the Hokage.

Writing some notes down he then flipped through the binder sitting on his lap. I have to be ready for him to say no, it might happen Kisada thought. I assume what will be said but i still need to ask, going through a semblance of a prepared speech he was going to say to the Hokage.

Kisada started to doubt his meeting with the Hokage understanding there was a lot more important things happening in the village. He had heard the rumors, however how much truth there was to them Kisada could not be sure.

Maybe i should just go kisada thought as he gathered his things together, i think the hokage would understand. It would probably be more beneficial then a detriment allowing him the time to deal with important affairs.

Kisada stood up stretching for a moment, then with his things in hand he walked back over to the receptionists desk. He smiled as he approached and was about to open his mouth to share his latest decision. The receptionist looked up at him and before kisada could speak she said the Hokage will see you now.

Thank you, Kisada said faking a smile and then he turned and headed towards the door to the office of the Hokage.

[Masahige]

Masahige sat quietly at his desk, clearing aside files for his meeting with the Hyuga. Although he was not going to give special treatment, he was fully aware that Kisada was Hinata's only child. He wondered what reasons were behind this meeting.

"Please sit," he said, making a gesture to the chair across from his desk once Kisada entered the room.

[Hyuga Kisada]

As Kisada took his seat he looked across the desk almost shameful that he had wasted the Hokage's time with such an unimportant matter in the spectrum of things. He took his seat and then shuffling the files he had in his hand he finally spoke his words sounding timid at first.

Thank you Lord Hokage for seeing me today, he paused for a moment and cleared his throat. In an effort to not waste more of your time then is needed Lord Hokage i will be brief. My desire is not to be disrespectful Lord Hokage, but i must question a judgment that was made about my current station. I would ask for you to reconsider my application for active duty in the field.

I understand the decree's of the Honorable Fifth Hokage Tsunade and her desire to keep the medical nin from being stationed at the front lines. Yet i also believe there is more that i can do for the village then the work i perform at the hospital.

After finishing the small prepared speech he had been reciting to himself for the last week now Kisada sat silently. Trying to keep a calm demeanor, but also understanding that though he felt his desires were just, this was the Hokage he was speaking to. The man who is the greatest Shinobi of the leaf, maybe this was a bad idea Kisada thought to himself. Hopefully hes not to angry...

[Masahige]

Masahige's expression remained flat while Kisada spoke. He took the time to analyze the High Ninja before, secretly questioning the late-Naruto's judgement on Kisada's promotion to his current rank.

"Tsunade-sama is a respected predecessor," Masahige began, "And while her Four Rules are standard among this village, I do understand their flaw. Yet, there is also great meaning in them. Most ninja who take up the path of the Medical Arts are not ready for direct combat. In all of our history, we have only witnessed a handful.

"But as for your requests-- Tsunade's rules have nothing to do with that. You have been attempting to apply for missions on your own, and yet I have seen nothing in your records stating that you are capable of completing these tasks by yourself. I do not feel you are qualified to complete solo missions just yet."

[Hyuga Kisada]

Not because of Tsunade's decree kisada thought, the hokage is right though because of the time kisada had spent training to be a medical nin. While other chunin had been out on tasks and missions constantly, kisada had mainly taken only missions he was asked to otherwise spending all his time and effort learning medical jutsu.

I understand Lord Hokage, may I ask if there is another way to gain the needed experience? If there is anything Lord Hokage that i can do please let me know.

[Masahige]

"That is for you to discover on your own," Masahige replied. "And if you cannot do that, then you do not deserve what you are asking for."

[Hyuga Kisada]

Listening to the Hokage's words Kisada realized he was foolish for believing that storming in here and demanding something would get him anywhere. He paused for a moment after the Hokage finished speaking before he responded.

I believe i understand Lord Hokage, thank you for your time.
